Other Consumer Safety Information
When using electric appliances, basic
safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:
1. Read all instructions.
2. Do not touch hot surfaces or hot water.
Use handles or knobs. Care must be
taken as burns can occur from touching hot parts or from spilled hot liquid.
3. To protect against fire, electric shock
and personal injury do not immerse
cord, plugs, power base or electric kettle in water or other liquid.
4. Close supervision is necessary when
any appliance is used by or near children.
5. Unplug from outlet when not in use and
before cleaning. Allow to cool before
putting on or taking off parts, and before
cleaning.
6. Do not operate any appliance with a
damaged cord or plug, or after the appliance malfunctions or is dropped or damaged in any manner. Call our toll-free customer assistance number for information
on examination, repair, or adjustment.
7. The use of accessory attachments not
recommended by the manufacturer may
result in fire, electrical shock or personal
injury.
8. Do not use outdoors.
9. Do not let cord hang over edge of table or
counter, or touch hot surfaces, including
the stove.
10. Do not place electric kettle on or near a
hot gas or electric burner or in a heated
oven.
11. To disconnect electric kettle, turn any
control to OFF (O) then remove plug
from wall outlet. Never pull on cord as
this may damage the cord and eventually cause electric shock.
12. Do not use appliance for other than
intended use.
13. Do not use for other than heating water.
Other liquids or food will contaminate

14. Do not allow kettle to boil dry.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance is intended for household use only.
To avoid an electrical circuit overload, do not
operate another high wattage appliance on
the same circuit with the kettle.
The length of the cord used on this appliance was selected to reduce the hazards of
becoming tangled in, or tripping over a
longer cord.
If a longer cord is necessary an approved
extension cord may be used. The electrical
rating of the extension cord must be equal
to or greater than the rating of the kettle.
Care must be taken to arrange the extension cord so that it will not drape over the
countertop or tabletop where it can be
pulled on by children or accidentally tripped
over.

Your cordless kettle has the power
supply connected to the power base,
eliminating the need to plug and
unplug the cord from the electrical
outlet. However, it is always a good
safety practice to unplug the power
base when not in use.
• For general operation see “Using
Your Electric Kettle.”
• After filling the kettle with water, it
should be placed on the base so
that it is correctly engaged.
• After use the kettle may be left on
the power base but we recommend
you unplug the cord from the outlet.
Using Your Electric Kettle
BEFORE FIRST USE: Remove plastic bag from outside kettle and any
packaging that may be inside the
kettle. Fill the kettle to the MAX indicator on water level window and
bring to a boil until kettle shuts off
automatically. Discard water and
repeat the process. Rinse out the
kettle 2 or 3 times. The kettle is now
ready for use.
1. Remove from power base before
filling.
2. Fill the kettle with the required
amount of water. Ensure that the
water level is between MIN and
MAX on the water level indicator. If
using the mesh filter, it must be in
place.
WARNING: If the kettle is overfilled there is a risk that boiling
water may spit out of the spout
and from the steam vent located
on the underside of the base.
3. Make sure that the lid is in place
and power base is standing on a
level surface. If lid is not in place,
auto shut-off will not operate.
4. Plug into the outlet and turn on ( l).
5. The kettle will switch off (O) auto-
matically when the water has
boiled. (Remember, the surface of
the kettle gets hot; take care–only
grip the kettle by the handle).
6. After use, unplug the kettle and
empty.
NOTE: Use water only. If used for
foods other than water, the
warranty will be voided.
Cordless Kettle
wWARNING
Burn Hazard
If kettle is overfilled, boiling water may spit out of the spout.
Heating Element Discolors
It is normal for stainless steel heating
elements to discolor. This does not
affect the performance of the kettle.
Do not use abrasive scouring pads or
cleaners as this may damage the
stainless steel surface.
840155600 ENv06.qxd 10/13/06 11:46 AM Page 7

1. With kettle unplugged, empty any
remaining water and rinse. Allow
kettle to cool.
2. Remove Filter: Remove lid, grasp
filter, pull out
and slide up
to remove. To
clean the filter, rinse it
under running
water and
brush with a
soft brush. An
old, clean toothbrush works well.
3. Replace Filter: Set screen into
opening. Slide down and into
place.
4. To avoid scale/lime deposit build-
up, empty kettle after each use.
5. Wipe the exterior of kettle with a
damp cloth. Do not use abrasive
scouring pads or powders as they
may scratch the smooth surface of
the kettle.
NEVER IMMERSE THE KETTLE IN
WATER OR OTHER LIQUIDS.
Cleaning Your Kettle
Anti-Scale Mesh Filter
Scale is caused by lime and calcium in hard water. The mesh filter will prevent
these suspended particles from being poured out of the kettle. To ensure optimum performance of the filter it should be periodically cleaned. See “Cleaning
Your Kettle.”
If Your Kettle Boils Dry
The heating element is protected by
two automatic safety devices. If your
kettle is accidentally switched on
without being filled with water, or is
allowed to boil dry, the kettle will
automatically switch off.
You should:
• Unplug kettle and wait about 20
minutes for the element to cool.
• Refill kettle, then use as normal and
check that kettle functions correctly.
wWARNING
Electrical Shock Hazard
•
Do not immerse kettle, power base
or plug in any liquid.
•
Failure to follow these instructions
can result in death or electrical
shock.
If Your Kettle Does Not Work
Make these simple checks before
calling the toll-free customer assistance number:
• Have you switched the power
switch button to ON ( l ) position?
• Has the kettle been accidentally
switched on without being filled
with water or allowed to boil dry?
Turn the kettle OFF, wait 20 minutes
and try again.
• Is the kettle cord firmly plugged into
the outlet and the kettle firmly seated in the base?
